Freshteam Job Postings API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Freshteam API
  description: >-
    The Freshteam API is the REST interface to Freshworks' HR and applicant
    tracking (ATS) product. It covers the HRIS core (employees, custom fields,
    and organization structure), time-off (leave), recruiting (job postings),
    the ATS (applicants and candidate sources), and onboarding (new hires).
    Requests target an account-specific base, https://{domain}.freshteam.com/api,
    where {domain} is your Freshteam subdomain, and carry an account API token as
    a Bearer credential (generated in the UI under API Settings). List endpoints
    are paginated with page, sort, and sort_type query parameters and return
    total-objects, total-pages, and link response headers.

    STATUS - Freshworks has announced the end-of-life of Freshteam. New
    subscriptions and renewals are halted starting March 7, 2026; existing
    customers retain access, and thus API access, only through the end of their
    subscription term (reported through approximately April 2027). This document
    models the publicly documented API as it exists during the sunset window; new
    customers cannot obtain access.
